• Willamette Falls is undergoing a generational facelift. These 4 projects are leading the way (hereisoregon.com) — Major changes are coming to Willamette Falls, with Oregon City leading new public access through the planned riverwalk that will link downtown directly to waterfall viewpoints. Alongside the Grand Ronde tribe's long-term tumwata village redevelopment, a separate West Linn cultural project and efforts to reopen the historic locks could transform the area's economy, recreation options, and Indigenous presence over the next decade.
